Eliminate the “Get CRM for Outlook” Message in the Message Bar in CRM

With the latest release of Dynamics CRM 2011, the system automatically displays a “Get CRM for Outlook” message, regardless if the user has already activated the Outlook client. You can clear it every time you log in, but luckily that’s not your only option.

There is a fast and easy way for the System Administrator to eliminate this message altogether.

First, go to Settings, then to Administration, and then System Settings:

Next, find the “Outlook” tab at the top of the window, scroll to the bottom, and you will find the setting that disables this message:

Select No click OK, and, poof! The message no longer shows when the user logs in to CRM.

Disclaimer: The Outlook client needs to be activated from each users’ Outlook account. Please make sure this message bar is no longer needed as a reminder before you disable it.
